Crested Penguin Standing Above Ocean Waves
Perched on a high rocky cliff, a crested penguin looks out over the open bay water. Waves roll against the stone ocean ledge, where this seabird stands firmly upon the steep coastal rocks above the sea.
Unique Traits of Crested Penguins
Crested penguins belong to the genus Eudyptes and are recognized by bright yellow feather plumes extending from their eyes across their heads. These seabirds inhabit rocky islands across the Southern Ocean, nesting on steep cliffs to protect their eggs from sea swells and marine predators. Unlike some penguin species that waddle smoothly, crested penguins frequently hop with both feet together across uneven boulder fields.
